The Society to Be Built 

  The following happened when Kim Il Sung was attending Hwasong Uisuk School.
In late August 1926 there was a seminar at the school on the issue of the society to be built after the country’s liberation.
The students’ opinions varied: some insisted that the feudal dynasty should be restored, and some others said, as they sat with their arms folded, that the country to be built should be discussed after it became independent, and that a controversy over capitalism or the restoration of the dynasty before independence was pointless.
But Kim Il Sung saw it from a quite contrary point of view. He thought that the country could not carry out a bourgeois revolution like the European countries, nor should the old feudal ruling machinery be restored. He logically explained his opinion to the students: After making our country independent, we should build a society free from exploitation and oppression, a society where the workers, peasants and other working people lead a bountiful life in their homeland.
In the days when the victory of the revolution could not be predicted, Kim Il Sung already indicated the road Korea should take after it became independent.
